Just me today plodding on with the painting of the inside of the second St Ayles Skiff. I had picked up JP’s sander and vacuum cleaner on the way in and started by giving the white primer a quick light sand to create a key for the gloss paint. Geoff B dropped in and Harry at tea time before I started painting and later Harry’s cousin, John, visited the shed. The Norglass paint really does spread easily and gives a great coverage. I could be tempted not to do a second coat but I know it will look better for longer if I do. I hadn’t finished at 12.45pm when I had to leave to go to my first committee meeting at the Riverside Club. I got back at close to 2pm to finish the job and clean up and then shoot off to the beach for a cooling body surf.
Cheers Dave.
